It's time to get up!" my mother said while she was pushing me. I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. "Oh dear! It's a quarter to eight already. I'll be late for school again," I thought. I jumped out of the bed, washed my face, then hurried to the bus stop without breakfast. As soon as I got on the bus, it started running. "I'm sure I can get to the school on time," I said to myself. Suddenly the bus stopped. The bus driver got off the bus, then got on the bus again and said, "I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. There's something wrong with the bus. Please get off the bus and wait for another one." "I couldn't wait. The school is not far. I'd better run to the school," I thought, and then I began to run. But before I got to the school, it began to rain hard.‎ I reached the classroom but I was wet shivering with cold. The physics teacher had already begun his lesson. It was Mr. Smith. He was about fifty years old. All the students were a little afraid of him and so was I. I liked neither him nor his physics lessons. I hesitated for a moment and then I opened the door. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Smith. I'm late again," I said with a red face.‎ ‎"It's you again, Jim," Mr. Smith said angrily. "I've told you not be late, but you…" he suddenly stopped and looked at my wet clothes. He turned to the class and said, "I'm very sorry, my boys and girls." With these words he quickly took off his own jacket and handed it to me. "Now take off your wet coat and put this one or you'll catch cold," he said kindly.‎ I went to my seat with Mr. Smith's jacket on. It was a bit large for me but I felt very warm in it. I found, for the first time, physics was so interesting and how well I could understand it!‎ ‎21.

They are tall and slim and carry long spears to guard their cattle against an attacking lion or leopard (豹). These Africans move from place to place on the rolling (绵延起伏的) grasslands looking for suitable grazing (牧场) and water. Mboto is twelve years old. He helps his father drive the cattle. If the family decides to remain in one spot for a while, he helps gather sticks and thin branches to build a simple house. The sticks are placed in the ground in a circle. They are then bent inwards and joined at the top. Small branches and leaves fill the spaces. If it looks as if the family will stay longer than usual, then the inside walls are often plastered with cattle manure (粪). For a door there is only a small opening to allow a person to enter. A thorn (刺) fence is built around the small house to keep cattle safe at night. Lions, leopards and hyenas prowl (觅食) around after dark. So the cattle would be easily killed and eaten.‎ When Mboto grows up into a man, he will become a true Masai warrior (勇士). He will have to join other warriors in the strange custom of drinking blood. The blood is taken from the neck of one of their cattle. It is mixed with milk and together with meat. It becomes the main food ‎ for the men.‎ The Masai have lived this way for thousands of years. The only change that seems to have affected their lives is the use of the transistor (晶体管) radio. It is quite common to see a young warrior with a pair of earphones listening to music while he is with his cattle.‎ ‎25. The underlined word plastered in the first paragraph means______.‎ A. painted B. covered all over C. put up D. hidden ‎26. What do the Masai spend most of their time doing?‎ A. Hunting B. Fighting against wild animals C. Grazing their cattle D. Building small houses ‎27. It can be learned from the text that______.‎ A. a Masai warrior drinks blood mixed with milk B. Mboto is a strong Masai warrior C. a thorn fence is built to keep the cattle out D. the Masai has nearly a thousand years of history ‎28. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?‎ A. The Masai wander over the rolling African grasslands.‎ B. A Masai’s simple house has a small opening as a door to allow a person to enter.‎ C. A Masai’s simple house is made of branches and strong sticks.‎ D. Modern inventions don’t affect the Masai’s lives at all.‎ ‎ C Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there’s no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children’s curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions” about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, “Now that we’re finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?”‎ After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?”‎ This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours. ‎ Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time” to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers. Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved in a science discussion, don’t jump in with “That’s right” or “Very good”. These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior. But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “That’s interesting” or “I’d never thought of it that way before”, or coming up with more questions or ideas. Never push a child to “Think”. It doesn’t make sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What’s more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.‎ Lastly, show; don’t tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass (放大镜), and they’ll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Instead of saying that water evaporates (蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.‎ ‎29. According to the text, to raise children’s interest, the most important thing for adults to do is __________.‎ ‎ A. to let them see the world around ‎ B. to share the children’s curiosity ‎ C. to explain different terms about science ‎ D. to supply the children with lab equipment ‎30. Children can answer questions in a more logical, complete, and creative way if adults __________.‎ ‎ A. ask them to answer quickly ‎ B. encourage them to take questions seriously ‎ C. tell them to answer the next day ‎ D. wait at least for three seconds after a question ‎31. What should adults do to encourage children in a science discussion?‎ ‎ A. Perform good behavior. B. Give a quick praise.‎ ‎ C. Make the discussion interesting. D. Ask more questions.‎ ‎32. The author mentions all of the following techniques except that adults should __________.‎ ‎ A. tell their children stories instead of reciting facts ‎ B. offer their children chances to see things for themselves ‎ C. be patient enough when their children answer questions ‎ D. encourage children to ask questions of their own ‎ D Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal advisors give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants (被告). But in the executive (主管的) circle, beauty can become a liability.‎ While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman. ‎ Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to lead to their success.‎ Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was connected not with ability but with factors such as luck. ‎ All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was connected more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of the attractive overnight successes.‎ Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is considered to be more feminine and an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally manly position appears to lack the “manly” qualities required.‎ This is true even in politics. “When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men ‎ and women differently,” says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates (候选人). She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order if attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.‎ The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the women who had ranked most attractive unchangeably received the fewest votes.‎ ‎33. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness ___________‎ A. makes women look more honest and capable B. strengthens the feminine qualities required.‎ C. is of great importance to women D. often enables women to succeed quickly ‎34. Bowman’s experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness_______‎ A. turns out to be a disadvantage to men B. is more of a disadvantage than an advantage to women C. affects men and women alike D. has as little effect on men as on women ‎35. It can be inferred from the passage that people’s views on beauty are often _______.‎ A. practical B. supportive C. old-fashioned D. one-sided（片面的）‎ 第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎____36____You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. ‎ Here’s how: ‎ Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying.____37____ A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.‎ Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject. Make good use of your time in class. ____38____ Listening carefully in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.‎ Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. ____39_____ If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you’ll remember it longer.‎ Develop a good attitude towards tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.‎ ‎____40____ You will probably discover them after you have tried these.‎ A. There are other methods that might help you with your studying.‎ B. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment.‎ C. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says.‎ D. No one can become a top student unless he or she works hard.‎ E. Maybe you are an average student.‎ F.
